    I don’t think this is too alarming, especially considering you trained hard 2 days prior to the test. If you want a more accurate reading, then take several days rest prior to having bloods taken.

    A rest day from the gym today. I did my long-ish run this morning, then my husband and I went out for a beach walk and coffee. This afternoon I have a bit of work and jobs around the house to get on with, then we’ll probably just have a chilled evening with a film.

    I guess it depends what you want from a coach. I’m sure your coach is only concerned with the goal and wants to make sure you understand and adhere to the plan. If you don’t agree or want some more clarity, then I would speak to them. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, then look for another coach who offers you what you want.

    There’s no doubting the effects of clen, but you certainly don’t ‘need’ to use it, so if you can get the desired results without, then I would do so. I don’t see any need in adding in Yohimbine either for the potential minute benefits you might get.

    A usual Friday morning of cardio and Pilates. I then went straight out to get some lunch with a friend afterwards and walked back home, so lots of activity this morning. I now have some work and bits to catch up on this afternoon.

    How long have you felt like this? Has anything changed during that time? Stress, diet, supplementation, training, dieting/gaining phase.. ?

    A rest day from the gym today, but I did a nice 10km run in the sunshine after a meal this morning, then I’ve had my head in the computer doing some course work, research and writing. I’ll get out again for another walk later and take advantage of this beautiful weather.

    Back in the gym today. I felt so much better this morning after a decent night’s sleep, so I’m glad I took an extra rest day yesterday to recharge. I did a full body session to make up for missing Tuesday’s upper.

    Yes it’s quite common to see another drop in bodyweight after food has initially increased. This will be due to reduced stress on the body, better sleep and subconsciously moving more. If the drop continues, then I would firstly bump fats on your non training days to 40g and then add an additional 100 calories from carbs on training days.

    I woke this morning feeling very run down and drained. I didn’t sleep well for some reason, and my sleep has been great recently, so I figure my body must be under some kind of stress. For this reason I decided to listen to my body and take an extra rest day today. I’ve done a couple of walks, done some computer work, ate some good food and made sure to take some time to relax. Hopefully after a decent sleep tonight, I’ll bounce back tomorrow and get back in the gym.

    March 17, 2026 at 2:19 pm in reply to: Retatrutide killing Endurance.

    Retatrutide is more likely to hinder endurance performance than help it. It’s used primarily for appetite suppression, rapid weight loss and slowed digestion, which will directly reduce the energy availability your training depends on. It will become difficult to eat enough to maintain glycogen stores and support recovery. The fast weight loss properties will increase the risk of losing lean mass and the slower gastric emptying will also make fuelling longer sessions harder.

    Your body adapts to endurance work through energy availability, muscle repair and a cumulative training load, so this should be your main focus. I realise that peptides are exciting and can by all means be used to your advantage, but the way you seem to be approaching this is a ‘throw everything in at once’ approach, which will be counter productive and impossible to know what’s doing what. Take out what you don’t need and take a slow, steady approach.

    As a minimum, that’s enough, but you could bump it up to 200g if digestion allows and food becomes high.

    Just crack on as you were. Don’t try to compensate. Your body will adapt, drop the water and normalise again. Drink plenty of water and get back on plan.

    A typical Monday for me today. I started the day with a run, then have been sorting the house, getting some jobs ticked off and getting some work prepped for the week ahead.
